As a conclusion, the idea the same as for backlinks or citations campaigns - quality is more important than quantity - the value of the data shared in a infographic is much more important than only having some nice charts.

What about infographics built on drawpads ? Do you think they can bring the same advantage if the quality of the data is high, even if the design is not good enough?

Here is something no-one else mentioned until now .... After the hummingbird update - Long Tail Google queries start generating different local results based on the user location .... not only different organics ( in some cases ), but also Local Carousel results... "where do i find a hotel in dallas?" this longtail search was generating same rankings ( organic ) on all US , but now things has changed. It seems that now Google understand much better the meaning of the search and is delivering Local Carousel results also on the top of organics.

The fact the analysis is based on the opinion of different SEO experts and not directly to real facts could imply a certain error level. What would be nice to see in another article is the mathematical algorithm experts are using for calculating the weights for each different factors ( not sure all use real algorithms or intuition only ), and the number of factors they were analyzing as there are still few important ones which seems to be missing.

The analysis is focused on Google Algorithms but is not specified if Local Algorithms were included or not, as it seems they are totally missing ( all those backlinks analysis which doesn't mater so much for Local Rankings anymore ) and Local Rankings are taking over Google SERPs, at least this is what my laptop screenshot shows: http://goo.gl/5tuzUE ( no organics, only carousel, maps & AdWords )

Many of us are filling the pain of being outranked because of this local stuff and would love to hear more updates about this.

Thats OK for 1 keyword / 1 location, but when you have 10-20 keywords and 30-40 locations, doing it by filtering could be pretty time consuming. For this you can use a tool as GeoRanker - as this is what it does best.

What about the exact location of the user who clicked the link ? Everyone is happy about URL position in SERP but from my POV as long as you dont know the user location, they are worthless as SERPs are different based on user GeoLocation. September 07, 2012

Local is important on any country in the world as long as it has more than one city. Here is a nice example on how different are the rankings for keyword "pizza" in Netherlands for both Organic and Paid Google Results:http://goo.gl/Bmf0QYou should scroll down the page to check the HeatMap Reports as they shows the best by city rankings differences
